li'he nresent invention relates to o, mounting ior or domestic wrineer, and more particularly to e. wrineer rnountins, which allows the wringer to he nluced on operative position above a droinhoord, or sink, or the like, and to be moved into on inoperdtive position below the same without detoohine the wringer from its mount- Mons modern houses and apartments have heen constructed without providing o. space in which it washing machine and wringer may be used, or stored when not in use. In almost all homes, however, it is convenient ii not necesssrv to do u certein amount of washing. The ltitchen si is time often called into service es s hine tuh My invention provides or con venient mounting tor o wringer adjacent to a sinir or similsr iirtine which permits the wrineer without detueiunent iromthe mountins to he resdiir pieced in onerutive mdtionshove the nlene oi the studs during use end to he moved to o storueenosition below the sinlr when not in use it is on ohieet oi my invention to provide or rnountind ior domestic wringer which permits the wrinser mounted thereon to be swung into onerntive nosition shove s sink and to e storage nosition heiow the some.

iurther ohieet oi my invention is the pro vision oi inountin ior domestic wrineers oi indiceted hrolten iines.

ijhnereiiw snesirine, the invention provides a inountins tor vmineer which con he swungirorn en oneretive nosition shove e draining hoerd or sins shout on this normal to the longitudinel verticei nione through the wr'ineer to on inonerntive or storage position below the honrd or sinir, lPreiershiy the wringer is orrenged' to swine: through an angle of approximately 27d end the pivot of the'mounting may conveniently he arranged below and slightly inside the edee oi" the hoard. Means are preferehly provided to secure the wrineer in both its operative end inoperative position.

The invention is particulerlv applicable to cases where it is desired that the wringer, when in its oneretive position, should he between a draining honrd end a sink. For example, when used with u sink fixed against o. well and provided with s oinins board on one side, the wrinner, when in its operative position, is orraneed st rieht eneles to the well user the edge of the honrd which adjoins the sinir. The

mounting is esneciedly suitehie ior use with meted sinlt end dreini hoord conrhined units,

eierrins now more erticuierit to the drowins, the wrinser i is shown in its oneretive ost tion mounted on e mete-i deli end draining hoerd unit consistine oi two sinlrs to and 5h connected he or droinine-hoerd i. The wringer is oerried he s nrountine which consists of s pivoted wrineer sunnortine meniher i and a hired hreeltet it @no reietivelv lone arm 2a of the suonortine nienoher i curries sockets to 4 which erio the wrineer spisots by means of set-screws tn. the suoportinu member 2 comprises two further relatively short srms to end to, which, in the operative position, embrace the edge oi the hotrrd t, as moy be seen in Fig; 2.. the orms to end to men he mode oi sheet metal douhied on itseli end men he welded or otherwise secured in uenerollv norellel relation to eech other to the tubular connecting arm to.

A pivot pin it ertendins throueh niiened heerine openings in the two verticel wells oi the bracket l and in the short errn c ive-telly secures the sunoortine rnenoher t to the hreciret i. When the wrineer is moved into its inoperative position, the sunnortine member i toeether with the wringer is swune hodilv shout the oin t through on enele oi enoroetelv did, when the sun.-

The wrinser orsupporting A member may be held in the storage position by modifications and variations may be made without departing from the fundamental concept disclosed herein. Such variations of construction as will be comprised within equivalent mechanism and that will accomplish practically what I have set forth are to be construed as within the scope of the following claims.

I claim:

1. A mounting for a domestic wash wringer comprising a bracket adapted to be secured to a supporting structure. a pivot pin mounted on said bracket, a wringer supporting member having a long arm and a short arm and being pivotally mounted on said pivot pin adjacent to the free end of said short arm, said long arm of the wringer supporting member being provided with means to engage and hold a wringer and adapted to move from an operative position at one side of the bracket to an inoperative position at the opposite side of the bracket, said short arm extending substantially parallel to the long arm on which the wringer is adapted to be mounted.

2. A mounting for a wash wringer adapted to be used in combination with a sink or the like comprising a bracket and a supporting member havin: two parallel arms rigidly connected by a third perpendicular. arm, one of the parallel arms being adapted to be rigidly connected to the wringer and the other parallel arm being pivotable aboiit a pin, which is held by the'bracket and lies per-'- pendicular to the three arms or the supporting member.

8. A mounting for a wash wringer adapted to be used in combination with a sink or the like comprising a bracket adapted to be secured below a sink or the like; a wringer supporting member having a relatively long arm adapted to be secured to a wash wringer, a relatively short arm generally parallel to said long arm, and a connecting arm between said long and short arms; and means pivotally securing said short arm to said bracket, whereby a wringer secured to said long arm may be swung from an operative position above the sink or the like to a storage position below the same.

4. A mounting for a wash wringer adapted to be used in combination with a sink or the like comprising an inverted channel bracket adapted to be secured below a sink or the like; a wringer supporting member having a relatively long arm adapted to be secured to a wash wringer, a relatively short arm generally parallel to said long arm, and a connecting arm between said long and short arms; and a pivot pin extending through the walls of said channel bracket and through said short arm, thereby pivotally securing said short arm to said bracket, whereby a wringer secured to said long arm may be swung from an operative position above the sink or the like to a storage position below the same.

5. A mounting for a domestic wash wringer according to claim 4, in which the pivot pin is located a distance below the surface of the sink which is greater than the length of the short arm, the long arm and the short arm extending in the-same direction from the connecting arm.
